They have a shuttle to and from the airport. It’s the only good thing about this place. The staff do the bare minimum. The sheets & blankets are old, stained with hair, and dirty. It’s loud and rundown. Yikes!

I've stayed at the Puffin Inn a half dozen times when visiting Alaska. It is very convenient to ANC and the staff is very helpful. Just a 5 minute walk to Gwennies Restaurant! Cost is reasonable, rooms are roomy.

Someone doing phentenal on corner. Stayed 7 days and not one time did they clean our room. Had to pick up my dirty towels and bring to front desk to get more that they never changed. Filthy, drug addicts, not safe Expedia!!! Thanks for the horrible suggestion And if you can not handle truth…… don’t ask for review.

I really wanted to give this hotel a good review, but the guests next door and upstairs were rowdy and noisy. Other than that, I have no complains. It was a nothing special hotel, public transportation nearby. Good enough to sleep and go

I accidentally locked my room key in my room without shoes on. I had to walk to the front desk barefoot and theres excessive broken glass everywhere there. It seems to be in a neighborhood that has given up on itself. All the hotels I saw in Alaska are more run down than the continental USA, but this hotel and the area it is in, seems to be worse. Maybe there are limitations I am not aware of for cleaning the parking lot. The rooms were extremely clean and decorated in a simple and cute way. There are no bathtubs. The stairs to get up to my room were extremely rickety and weather beaten. Nice hotel staff to me, but they were talking poorly about the drug addicts outside and yelled at them. It was an unpleasant environment. They were clearly kind to "wealthy" people but not kind to other humans they deemed to be less than them. That's disappointing to see. I would not stay here again.
